That's not surprising. Without any research, but off the top of my head, there are probably only a couple of NCAA champions that reside in a city with any major professional sport, let alone NFL.

So, If your point is, cant believe its never happened before, I can. If your point is, rare indeed. I agree

Bingo. Interestingly, it looks like Loyola-Chicago and the Bears were the last combo in 1963, in the pre-Super Bowl era.

But in the modern era, you basically have only a few serious legitimate perennial contenders on the hardwood that would also come from a town with a Super Bowl team.

Off the top of my head, the biggest ones that could realistically do it are Villanova(obviously just did it), Miami, USC, UCLA, Houston?, Cincinnatti, Xavier, Pitt(haha, ok maybe not anymore ), Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Loyola, DePaul(again ), TCU?

Im sure there are others, but off the top of my head those are the bigger schools that are in NFL cities.

Someone on another board I post on brought up 3 times previously it nearly happened.

1980: Rams lose the Super Bowl to the Steelers and then UCLA lost to Louisville for the national title.
1984: The Washington NFL Franchise lost the Super Bowl to the Raiders and Georgetown won the national title.
2010: The Colts lose the Super Bowl to the Saints and Butler loses the national title game to Duke.

1984
The Redskins were defeated in part due to a huge play by former Illini Jack Squirek. Oh the irony.
